what i did was put gingerbreak.apk file to my external SD card on my Atrix 4g and opened it with ASTRO app... then it did all the work and rebooted... downloaded root check app to make sure it was rooted...also make sure your internal memory is not mounted because you will loose the apps you installed, found out the hard way since im also new... but lucky for me it was just a few apps

so...how to unmounted the internal memory? thanks

to unmount go to settings, then sd card & phone storage and then go to unmount internal phone storage

please delete all hidden folders on the sd card (they start with ".foldername")
of course make backup before.
you might need to redownload some apps then.
This is caused if you had apps in a previous version moved to sd.
how do i delete them if they are hidden???
thank you
The file explorer on the rom shows them or use root explorer. Or in windows set show all files (google how to show hidden folder on windows)

I am still gettin the same message that i dont have enough space on sd.
Should i format my sdcard?
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
First i would suggest to deinstall the apps which are already on sd. Then format sd card (make sure to only have 1 partition).
Then download from market and reinstall the apps. Then move to sd.
This is how i managed it.
(you can goto settings,applications,application administration and click on the sd tab and deinstall apps)

Moving all apps to sd with root

How do you move all apps with root but without partition. I saw it was possible but I do not understand

You have to download link2sd and go to settings and set install location to external. It works just like adb shell

Works with rooted android.

Download and install titanium backup pro from anywhere you like. Open the program and click on the options button of your phone and click on batch. You'll see a number of operations followed by a run button after each one. Scroll down and you'll see "move all user apps to SD card", click on run and you are done

Without partitioning the SD card, you will always have part of the apps on internal. With partitioning the SD card, you can move the entire apps to SD card.
I just went to gplay (marketplace) and got app2sd. Whether the phone is rooted or not you should be able to move the apps to the sdcard-ext, as long as there is enough room.

Yeah it helps in moving some apps to sd but it doesnt allows you to move all the app to sd. you may need to root you phone in order to move all apps to sd. when i used to use app2sd when i just started using android i used to have around 40 mb internal memory free inspite of moving all the apps that were possible to move on an unrooted phone to sd. I was then inspired to root my phone when i saw its possibilities

How can i make an ext part on my SDcard ???
I am using link2sd and it works like a charm. I have not partitioned my sd card.
TRY THIS
If u have lucky patcher installed on ur device, the version should be 3.9.3, first of all, move ur app or game's data (the very known com.xyz.xxxxx folder) to extsd/android/data or obb by using filemanager , now create that folder with a same name in sdcard or internal sd/android/data or obb/here, which would be like com.xyz.xxxxxx, open lucky patcher v3.9.3 goto toolbox tap directory binder, remember it will not bind the whole sdcard or internal sd , it will work only for particular directory (folder), so no need to worry, now tap on add new directory bind, no tap browse the 1st one, and show it to the path of that extsd/android/data/com.xyz.xxxx folder after that select current directory, now go for browse the 2nd one, goto the internal path should be like sdcard/android/data or obb/com.xyz.xxxx select current directory, now tap on bind directory. thats it, it will save ur sdcrd space. u can check it by setting then storage, i successfully did it in my funbook infinity having 1.5gb internal space available, plays the amazing Spider-Man2 , the dark knight rises, and dead trigger.
I have a rooted but otherwise stock Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T705) and I have a 128GB Sandisk SD card. Is it possible to move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? I read that even though my device is rooted, I will need to partition my SD card first before i can move all apps (with all their contents) to the SD card? Can someone please tell me how to partition my SD card? Also, if I move all apps with all their contents to SD card, would the running of such apps encounter any problems (as part of them are supposed to be in the device internal memory?)
I tried Link2 SD and Titanium Backup Pro but I could not see any such function (only native Android app2sd).
Thank you very much in advance.

[Q] sd card apps not showing up

I rooted my phone for the first time and installed cm7.2 last night. Everything seems to be working great. I only have one problem I backed most of my apps to sd card and used titanium backup for some things also. However I do not know how to get all the apps I backed up on my sdcard back on my phone. when I go to settings/storage it shows that my sd card is there but my apps are not showing up on my phone. Was there another step I missed? How do I get my apps back? Thanks for any help
I know this may be obvious but I am not sure how new you are to rooting. You need to install a root file explorer app first and then go in and reinstall each app once you find out where they are on your SD card.

I will try that thanks this is the first time that I have rooted
Not sure what app to download could you suggest one for me. Thanks
Es explorer and astro are good free options. Root explorer is good if you are willing to part with a few bucks.

[Q]

Can plz anyone tell me how to change location to install apps from phone storage to SD card because my phone storage is full, plz help... I used Motorola driod razr m xt907 ...
You can change some apps individually by going into settings>apps and chose migrate to SD
This will put it on fat32 partition which will for sure be a bit slower than internal data
If you are rooted then you can install any app you want to SD, if you make an ext4 partition to install it will be closer to internal storage speeds but still a bit slower. (Note although any app could be moved in this case there are many that can perform very poorly there)

You had posted in link2sd forum too. Pretty simple google search and you have this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783806 I think you mentioned your on 4.4.4? So if you read that thread. It will take you to towelroot. You can get your phone rooted first. Then move on to installing link2sd and freeing up some space on your phone. Anyway as in your other post. Getting the phone rooted will be the first step to other things you asked about. Good luck.
